Ok, so my first Ludum Dare and I’m in pretty late (only got access to a workstation 5 hrs ago, so I could only brainstorm before then).

Game concept for the theme is as follows:

• 2 player Spy v.s. Sniper type of game played from a top-down perspective.
• 1 player is the spy in a dance festival, following the Congo lines between changing rooms until he reaches the exit.
• The Spy must chose a costume and dance routine to follow so that he blends in, and can change up under cover every changing room.
• The Sniper must spot the Spy among the dancers and take him out before he reaches the exit.

Done:

• Basic movement system for both Spy PC and Dancer NPCs (Grid hopping, no smoothing).
• 2x dancer movement sequences with random move timer to shake things up.
• Keyboard input for Spy to move on grid and change “costume”.

To-Do:

• Sniper mouse controls.
• Win / Lose conditions (Exit or Death for Spy).
• Dancer NPC spawning and de-spawning system.
• Funky music!
• Graphics!
• Think of a name!
• Probably redress the Spy / Sniper as something more funky!

Hurrah for default objects! Green cube is the Spy, purple are the NPCs.
